it serves no purpose (binaries linked against musl as -lc/libc.so
automatically get the right DT_NEEDED value of libc.so) and causes
ldconfig to misbehave (making a symlink to ld-musl named libc.so in
/lib). ldconfig is not used on pure musl systems, but if ld-musl is
installed on a system where it's not the primary libc, this will
pollute the system /lib with a symlink to musl named libc.so, which
should NOT exist and could cause problems linking native apps. also,
the existence of the soname caused spurious warnings from ldconfig
when /lib and /usr/lib were the same physical directory.

this is useful when the underlying gcc is already a wrapper, which is
the case at least on some uclibc-based system images. it's also useful
for running an older/newer/nondefault version of gcc.

I originally added -O3 for shared libraries to counteract very bad
behavior by GCC when building PIC code: it insists on reloading the
GOT register in static functions that need it, even if the address of
the function is never leaked from the translation unit and all local
callers of the function have already loaded the GOT register. this
measurably degrades performance in a few key areas like malloc. the
inlining done at -O3 avoids the issue, but that's really not a good
reason for overriding the user's choice of optimization level.

this is mainly a development convenience but will also ensure users
building from latest git always get up-to-date arch-specific dynamic
linker code without having to "make clean".
|
|
this allows config.mak to override the default -lgcc for building with
other compilers such as pcc/clang/etc.
|
|
|
|
these new rules should avoid spurious error messages when the
directory (usually /lib) and the dynamic linker symlink already exist,
and minimize the spam when they can't be created.

hopefully the annoyance of this will be minimal. these files all
define internal interfaces which can change at any time; if different
modules are using different versions of the interfaces, the library
will badly break. ideally we would scan and add the dependency only
for C files that actually reference the affected interfaces, but for
now, err on the side of caution and force a rebuild of everything if
any of them have changed.
this commit is in preparation for the upcoming ssp overhaul commit,
which will change internals of the pthread struct.

the major change here is that CFLAGS is now a variable that can be
changed entirely under user control, without causing essential flags
to be lost. previously, "CFLAGS += ..." was valid in config.mak, but
using "CFLAGS = ..." in config.mak would have badly broken the build
process unless the user took care to copy the necessary flags out of
the main Makefile.
I have also added a distclean target that removes config.mak.

as far as I can tell, it's not useful and never way. I wrote it way
back under the assumption that non-weak symbols in the POSIX or
extension namespace could conflict with legitimate uses of the same
symbol name in the main program or other libraries, but that does not
seem to be the case.

the _concept_ of this wrapper has been tested extensively, but the
integration with the build/install system, and using a persistent
specfile rather than one generated at build-time, have not been
heavily tested and may need minor tweaks.
this approach should be a lot more robust (and easier to improve) than
writing a shell script that's responsible for trying to mimic gcc's
logic about whether it's compiling or linking, building shared libs or
executable files, etc. it's also lighter weight and should result in
mildly faster builds when using the wrapper.

this is necessitated by the ugly <syscall.h> just added
|
|
1. don't try to install (and thus build) shared libs when they were
disabled in config.mak
2. ensure that the path for the dynamic linker exists before
attempting to install it.
|
|
some cruft was left and DESTDIR was not being used correctly.
|
|
the path for the dynamic linker is now configurable, and failure to
install the symlink for it will not stop the build.
|
|
|
|
the linker script caused a bogus DT_NEEDED entry

prefer using visibility=hidden for __libc internal data, rather than
an accessor function, if the compiler has visibility.
optimize with -O3 for PIC targets (shared library). without heavy
inlining, reloading the GOT register in small functions kills
performance. 20-30% size increase for a single libc.so is not a big
deal, compared to comparaible size increase in every static binaries.
use -Bsymbolic-functions, not -Bsymbolic. global variables are subject
to COPY relocations, and thus binding their addresses in the library
at link time will cause library functions to read the wrong (original)
copies instead of the copies made in the main program's bss section.
add entry point, _start, for dynamic linker.
